'What you said was great': Robert De Niro pens letter of support to Meryl Streep after her Golden Globes speech

Robert De Niro wrote a letter to fellow Hollywood legend Meryl Streep praising her Golden Globes speech critical of President-elect Donald Trump.

The 73-year-old actor in his letter obtained on Wednesday by People told Streep, 67, that she delivered her remarks 'beautifully'.

'What you said was great. It needed to be said, and you said it beautifully. I have so much respect for you that you did it while the world was celebrating your achievements. I share your sentiments about punks and bullies. Enough is enough,' De Niro wrote.

'You, with your elegance and intelligence, have a powerful voice – one that inspires others to speak up as they should so their voices will be heard too. It is so important that we ALL speak up,' he added.
